INTRODUCTION 




LEGISLATIVE REFERENCE SERVICE 

What is now popularly known as legislative reference work 
is being done in practically every state of the American union. 
The agencies for the conduct of this work vary, but in the ma¬ 
jority of states special departments or bureaus are authorized 
by statute, and are given liberal support. In addition to such 
work in state governments, in a number of cities special refer¬ 
ence or research bureaus have been established. 

These new agencies of cooperative service were made neces¬ 
sary because of the difficulty experienced by legislators, and 
others charged with large administration, whether state or 
municipal, in the proper performance of their duties, without 
expert assistance. Legislative reference departments or bu¬ 
reaus, under whatever form organized, are designed in part to 
afford a cooperative means for keeping legislators, members 
of city councils and public officials, as well as students of pub¬ 
lic affairs, in touch with specific researches, sources, publica¬ 
tions, and other materials. They serve as an information 
clearing house, and in hundreds of ways have demonstrated 
their vital place in public affairs. There was a time when a 
general library could meet the demand. However, with the 
complexities of modern life, with the vast output of laws of 
the general government, of forty-eight state governments, and 
more than a hundred important municipal governments, to¬ 
gether with the mass of literature pouring from the press, the 
need of a specially equipped agency, is at once apparent. 

In 1890 a special legislative reference service was organ¬ 
ized in the New York State Library. The experiment was fol¬ 
lowed, with modifications and enlargement, by Wisconsin in 
1901. With the rapid multiplication of such agencies, thou¬ 
sands of dollars annually are now profitably expended in 
their support. The amounts authorized for these vary from 
five thousand to thirty thousand dollars annually. Large col¬ 
lections of books and special materials have been assembled, 
and many competent workers are employed in organization. 
The literature on the subject of legislative reference work has 
grown to extensive proportions, and in 1914 Mr. John Boynton 
Kaiser prepared and published a valuable volume entitled 
Municiiml Reference Libraries (Bos¬ 
ton Book Co., 8vo., pp. 467.) as an iptroductory manual 
and bibliographical guide. Recognizing the value of as-

sistance to National legislators and government officials 
in the performance of their work, Congress for the fiscal 
year ending June 30, 1915, made an appropriation of twenty- 
five thousand dollars, to enable the Librarian of Congress to 
employ competent persons to prepare and compile materials, 
such as indexes, digests, etc., etc. 

REFERENCE WORK AUTHORIZED IN ALABAMA 

This new form of cooperative activity was authorized in 
Alabama by the Legislature, under act approved March 5, 
1907, in which the duties of the Department of Archives and 
History were enlarged, as follows: 

“It shall bring together and arrange for ready consultation a refer¬ 
ence collection of materials for the use of the members of the Legislature, 
State officers and others on all subjects which may, from time to time, 
be deemed of public interest and importance to the people of the State.” 

From the date of its establishment, Feb. 27, 1901, the De¬ 
partment had been active in meeting the reference and other 
needs of State legislators, officials, and the general public. At 
the regular sessions of the Legislature of 1903 and 1907, much 
was done by way of cooperation with members in their legisla¬ 
tive labors. Although the collections of the Department were 
not large, current newspapers, periodicals, and the most recent 
State official documentary materials were much drawn upon. 
At the special sessions of 1907 and 1909, still further assist¬ 
ance was rendered, the collections in the meantime having 
been greatly enlarged. During the years 1909 and 1910 prog¬ 
ress was made in assembling special materials, which were ar¬ 
ranged in pamphlet file boxes and organized in accord¬ 
ance with the Dewey decimal system of library classification. 
The Department library, particularly in the field of sociology, 
had been strengthened. 

This preparation, and the enlargement of the collections 
made the work at the regular session of 1911 so pronounced 
and valuable that the appropriations of the Department were 
increased by act of March 30, 1911, “for the further develop¬ 
ment and enlargement of the library extension work, the pub¬ 
lic reference work, and the several other activities and needs 
of the Department.” 

With the aid of the appropriation just referred to, and 
through the liberal cooperation of State libraries, State offices 
and departments throughout the country, the historical and 
reference library of the Department has grown beyond all ex¬ 
pectation. It now numbers more than one hundred thousand 
books and pamphlets, including an almost complete collection 
of U. S. Government documents, both serial and departmental

sets, as well as very full collections of State official and depart¬ 
mental reports. 

PREPARATION FOR 1915 SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE 

^ In preparation for the assembling of the Legislature, early 
m 1914 extensive investigations were instituted, and continu¬ 
ously prosecuted, in order that the Department might ade¬ 
quately meet the needs of that body. These investigations 
included a careful examination of the current State newspa¬ 
pers, correspondence and interviews with public men, confer¬ 
ences with Senators and Representatives, as well as a general 
series of inquiries in the work of all recent sessions of the sev¬ 
eral State Legislatures. 

At the same time the Department collections were being 
strengthened, not only on subjects already represented, but on 
all new subjects, deemed at all likely to come up for considera¬ 
tion. Through this means many thousand pamphlets, includ¬ 
ing separates of laws, discussions of public questions, bibli¬ 
ographies, clippings, special articles or papers, notes and mem¬ 
oranda were gathered. 

In organizing these special materials, a new, and it is be¬ 
lieved superior arrangement has been adopted, supplanting or 
taking the place of the pamphlet file boxes as above described. 
This new arrangement consists of a series of vertical file cab¬ 
inets, in which are placed, in alphabetical order, behind suita¬ 
ble guides for main and subheadings, all special materials. 
These files, however, contain only a small part of the materials 
actually assembled in the historical and reference library of 
the Department. 

In addition to affording a convenient and easily accessible 
place for all pamphlet and other minor materials, these files 
contain bibliographies, reading lists, and memoranda, which 
serve in part as a guide to the larger groups in the main col¬ 
lections. 

The index which follows is intended to include, in one al¬ 
phabet, a full list of subjects represented in these files. 
Through this simple form of organization, it is believed that 
the Department collections, for reference purposes, will be the 
more readily accessible to all who may have occasion to consult 
them. It is presented as a contribution to the materials that 
will be offered in our legislative reference service. 

ORGANIZATION OF CORRESPONDENCE FILES 

The correspondence and other administrative files of the 
Department are cared for in sections of standard vertical filing 
cabinets, by a numerical arrangement, in which the well- 





6 


DEPARTMENT OF ARCHIVES AND HISTORY 


known decimal principle of organization is adapted to the sev¬ 
eral activities of the Department. 

The numbers A900-A999 are devoted to the Research, Ex¬ 
tension and Reference Service. The legislative section is given 
the numbers A990-A999. Correspondence on all matters per¬ 
taining to reference service for the Legislature is filed in ac¬ 
cordance with the outline below. This is given in full in order 
that the method of filing correspondence, as well as the ar¬ 
rangement of the collections of materials themselves may both 
be clearly understood. 

Every number is represented by a vertical file press board 
guide. Under A999.2 is placed a set of State guides. In pa- 
peroid pockets, or expansible folders, are placed the publica¬ 
tions of all other reference departments or bureaus, irrespect¬ 
ive of sets of these publications which are filed with reference 
materials according to subject. Folders are used for any nec¬ 
essary subdivisions of subject matter.
